If there is something that distinguishes this film from so many and so many very good ones that we have seen, it is the affection, the love, that Ettore Scola gives to the narration of his movie "We All Loved Each Other So Much" that is why the film is dedicated to the master of Italian cinema Federico Fellini, who made us laugh and cry so many times with his masterful touch.
At the end of WWII in Italy, Gianni, Antonio and Nicola, become great friends and suffer the limitations of the postwar period struggling to survive.
Scola frames his history by paying a deep tribute to Italian cinema and his homeland.
And so, we see beautiful cinematographic resources, already in disuse, such as: freezing of actors and expression of thoughts, black and white and color photography, the recreation of the iconic scene of the Trevi Fountain, from the classic 1960 film, "La Dolce Vita" with Marcello Mastroianni himself and Federico Fellini on stage ...
To the 3 friends, destiny puts a common denominator, Luciana and from this moment on, the true friendship between them, regarding opportunities, interests and love... life itself, is put to the test.
With the beautiful sequence of the roundabout that starts in black and white and continues through time towards color, we see each one take a different path to the future, to face them again years later and learn about the life choices of the 4 characters.
A real gem of the cinema.
Sober performances by Nino Manfredi, Vittorio Gassman, Stefania Sandrelli
